A tiny survivor of the recent bushfires in Australia is on the mend. Four-month-old kangaroo joey Blue Gum was rescued by a passer-by after the Donnybrook fire swept through Melbourne's northern suburbs. His mother didn't survive but Blue Gum was pulled from her pouch alive and taken to the Wildhaven wildlife shelter. Blue Gum will stay at the shelter for the next two years until he is old enough to be set free.
